Borat

November 18th, 2006 by tree

Well, there were some funny moments. But mostly, this movie was painful for me. It’s like that freaky Roberto Begnini acting out at the Academy Awards. I get embarassed and can barely look.

    i felt the same way. i spent most of it being horrified and looking through my fingers.

    I haven’t seen it.

    So who is ‘abnormal’? The people who think it’s the cat’s pajamas or you two?

    I won’t assign a category to either side, Bertram. And I didn’t hate the movie. I just didn’t like it that much.

    I am going to go look for a yeast bread recipe and figure out how to make and store rolls for Thanksgiving. I bought the turkey today, a fresh Red Bird, 13 lbs.

    Isn’t “yeast bread recipe” redundant? I know there are breads that don’t include yeast, but do ‘white bread’ Americans know about them?

    Oh, hey! Verb and I had lunch at Antonio’s and set a place for you. So you’ve now been there in spirit.

    I absolutely loved Borat. Then again, I also thought watching Roberto Begnini jumping around like a fool having fun was refreshing.

    It’s not redundant. I eat Naan.

    I felt like I had nacho breath the other day. Must have been why. Lol.

    What’s a Red Bird? A brand? Never have seen them here

    It’s just a brand, Emma. Like Honeysuckle, but I like them better (Red Bird.)

    I remember that you liked Begnini, Blu. I had to look away from the television screen.

    Ha, Tree. I have to side with a fellow Italian. I loved that movie, because he reminded me of my grandfather a bit. (Begnini in Life is Beautiful - not Borat). Now that I’m taking Italian lessons, I want to see another one of his movies - without the subtitles.

    My daughter and I saw Borat last weekend and we were both fairly disappointed. A few good laughs,, a few nervous twitters,, and mainly dead silence. I was glad my watch is a Timex with Indiglo so I could keep track of how much time had lapsed and how much more I was going to have to sit thru. It is right on par with Jackass, frankly. Then again, I didn’t much care for Little Miss Sunshine, either. I couldn’t suspend disbelief for that long.

    Sheilakins, you adorable gingham Glory, when do you enjoy suspending disbelief?

    I was charmed by Little Miss Sunshine. One of the few times I left a theater feeling so cheerful.

    I want to see Marie Antoinette, The Queen, Little Children (they screwed this movie on distribution, so I’ll have to wait for the DVD); another Kate Winslet movie called Holiday, with Jack Black. I’m sure there are more, but the previews at Borat left me listless and bored.

    I am going to rent Word Play and maybe start watching Weeds. Also, a discussion in another thread made me want to see all the Homicide: Life on the Street shows again. Maybe The Wire, too. I don’t know.
